Hi, I've only been here a few days and I'm still learning the ropes. Can somebody explain to me what the 'Suggestions' I see in the panel at the left of the page are? Are these posts that the site THINKS I will be interested in or is somebody I'm following suggesting them to me? Can you help?

It's been answered by Some Guy Typing (Below). It's like the 'shares' on Bubblews - the posts that the people you follow think are worth seeing.

Since I've gotten two of these already, it's just what the others said. Someone you know and follow suggested you an post to respond to. Even if it doesn't interest me, I'll reply anyway.
